Dunno why you jabbed at me with that one, if it was such.
But I mean here's what I've been seeing regarding it. The most talked about characters seem to be.
Obi-Wan, Yoda, Valk/Vitiate, Sidious, Vader, Dooku, Anakin, Ventress, Kun and Maul.
From what I've seen mostly, these are the characters that are usually mixed and matched in just about every matchup and scenario more than once in some kind of fashion.
There's barely or hardly any talk about any other Force Users by comparison, when there is plenty of material regarding such characters, which usually these guys are just put as opponents or just dismissed altogether or just used as 'jokes'.
You're right though, discussions usually revolve around the high tier Force Users and it's generally recycling information that's been said. Where do you have a discussion if there's nothing new? There's a whole universe and many look at a very, very, very small fraction of it.
Among other things that come around here.

Funny that you mention it, since I've been trying to branch out recently (Exar Kun vs Galen and 'Killer, anyone?) but it really isn't my fault if all my favorite characters happen to be the most powerful ones (Sheev, Luke, Vader, Plagueis etc.) and from the era with the best-written stories. Those are the ones I've invested most of my time researching and developing arguments for, and as such arguing for them is only a logical choice. If this pisses you off, then it isn't my problem, really.
Besides, there are plenty of non-Force users/fodder level Force users I like, but due to their nature as low-tier combatants, talking about their combat abilities in a versus setting is a bit boring to me. If it was literature analysis, I'd be on board with them, but in VS matches I strongly gravitate towards the more powerful characters.
^ I don't think people really care enough about Krayt tbh. And the Kun debate's a bit old, with Nai making virtually every single argument possible for him over the years.
If you haven't been convinced that Kun is > Vader or Palpatine or whoever after reading through his posts, you never will be. He's a polarizing character and only has some scaling and quotes, with little (albeit impressive) feats.
